did you ever wonder about starting up in your own business?.
i spent years and years in sales management until one day i realised that i was still acting like a dub, my reps were my congregation, i was the presiding minister.
time to quit!.
I think your post was brilliant and generous. In industrialized societies today, kids are trained to be assembly-line workers at best (and incompetent morons at worst).
Entreprenurial skills can be of benefit to everyone, and especially to those unfortuante enough to have denied themselves better opportunities because they thought that to do so would please god.
Thank you, and how did you know our Yank codewords???
somebody mentioned getting flack for having get togethers for studying...the society is so damned scared that there will be some mob mentality if more than their proscribed little groups get together for anything other than their proscribed activities.
paranoia much?
it reminded me.... when i was first coming in, the congregation i was in had a boatload of kids...a ton around 8-10 years old.
Hey, hu - rah! , Tina!!!
to any jw lurker or reg poster who lives in the cleveland, oh and detroit, mi area.
i need a confirmation on something that came to my attention this evening.
it was announced in the cleveland area that the jw will be bused out to detroit, mi following the oct 5 or 6th annual meeting in jersey city for some type of special program.. of course all the jw think that the society is going to annoucne something major , but we all know that they will be told the 3 keys to success.
o my god, it's armageddon! oh oh oh
OK, sign me up.
I want to be one of Hank's Testifiers.
I sure don't want himn kickin' me (shudder).
the 50th psalm is one of jehovah's as-of-yet-unrevealed judicial decisions that will become operative upon his people during the tribulation.
the following is a brief overview of the chapter.. "the divine one, god, jehovah, has himself spoken,.
and he proceeds to call the earth.
YouKnow,
I can't wait until you get to the part about god's Judgement against arrogant, presumptuous, small-minded power-tripping embryonic serpents who presume to speak for "The God of Heaven."
But the WTB&TS is safe, as both you and I know, because of the simple fact that there is NO god of heaven. You punks are just like schoolyard bullies who know that the teacher has just gone inside.
So I have no worries about becoming speechless when a disembodied voice asks me how I dare assert my individuality. But to you and your Governing Body of faithfull and Discreet Slaves I will say this:
" ".
Not a word. I'm not playing your game anymore and giving you power in my life. You are as insignificant as you fear you truely are.
hello all: recall how the wts harped on "crime" as the 'love of the greater number cooling off' and the growing 'lawlessness' and so forth as part of the "composite" sing of the last days.. crime is down all over the world, except for some pockets.
and as one piece of evidence, here is today's headline from the new york times:.
"who ever thought crime would go down?
There's a simple and obvious answer to the question of why global crime statistics are down.
Armageddon came invisibly in 1975 and invisibly cleansed the earth.
We're now living in the invisble millenium of the invisible Christ's invisible reign.
I expect that soon the Faithful Deodorant Slave will take a vote and approve this new light by a slim majority. It gets them off the hook for HUNDREDS of years.
I think another sign of the last days is RAIN. Oh, wait, that was Noah...
what song do you want playing at your funeral?.
i'll be having "going underground" by the jam.
i was too far out... and not waving but drowning - stevie smith
"Break Like The Wind" by Spinal Tap.
Definitely.
well, here it is, after almost 20 years 12 of those serving in position of responsibility it comes down to my spiritual execution(jw style).
allow me to explain.
for those who you who still remember me from h20 under the name truthexodus i came to post my experience as an elder of local congregation in nyc area.
I hope you find peace and that you continue to do whatever you can to liberate people from this wicked organization's grasp.
Apostacy to a LIE is a badge of honor.
during the same weekend conversation which stimulated my recollection of "1975 stockpiling", i also recalled the "vietnam war pioneer" phenomenon -at least that's what i call it.
i thought i would post something about it to see if others remember this.. during the 1960s, when the draft started to supply troops for the vietnam "conflict", a phenomenon developed in our area, at least, and i'm wondering if this occurred nationwide?
(i can't remember if this was officially handled in the mags and from the stage, or if it was just another one of those things that was affected quietly behind the scenes.).
hey, philo, if you find that dirty joke notify me immediately, OK?
Yes, the USA lost the war in VietNam. The men in the field were betrayed by the politicians in Washington DC.
we're the apostates!
we're a special group of colorful, round snuggly little apostates whos job it is to help you understand your own feelings and share them with others.. as you can see, we have special pictures on our tummies, and those pictures tell you the special job each of us loves to do.. .
i'm tenderheartsimon, and it's my job to help people reach out to each other.
Hey Dan, don't feel too bad.
a little bad? OK.
Like all good killer apes, we saw a vulnerability and exploited it.
Thanks for being the rag-doll du jour!
Like everyone else, I do enjoy your posts.
